HEALTH AND EPILEPSY WARNING

Some small number of people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or
light patterns that they encounter in everyday life, such as those in certain television images or video games. These seizures or loss of
consciousness may occur even if the person has never had an epileptic seizure.

If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy when exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to
using Dreamcast.

In all cases, parents should monitor the use of video games by their children. If any player experiences dizziness, blurred vision, eye or
muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion, IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE AND
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE RESUMING PLAY.

To reduce the possibility of such symptoms, the operator must follow these safety precautions at all times when using Dreamcast:

• Sit a minimum of 6.5 feet away from the television screen. This should be as far as the length of the controller cable.

• Do not play if you are tired or have not had much sleep.

• Make sure that the room in which you are playing has all the lights on and is well lit.

• Stop playing video games for at least ten to twenty minutes per hour. This will rest your eyes, neck, arms and fingers so that you can
continue comfortably playing the game in the future.

will result in improper position adjustments and will cause the
console to malfunction.

Playing with two players requires an additional controller

malfunction. If the console malfunctions, turn it off and then
back on without manipulating the steering wheel or L/R levers

This game offers a variety of modes. Select the mode you want
to play in the SELECT MODE screen.

QUICK RACE

In this mode, you can easily use a demo car or a car you purchased
and tuned in QUEST mode to race against time or challenge rivals to
an SP BATTLE.

VERSUS BATTLE

In this mode, you can use a demo car or a car you purchased and tuned
in QUEST mode to compete against another player's car. Note that VERSUS
BATTLE is a two-player only mode requiring two Sega Dreamcast
controllers or racing controllers.

QUEST

In this mode, you can race through Tokyo in search of rivals to challenge
to a SP BATTLE (see page 8). This is Tokyo Xtreme Racer's primary mode.
You will encounter many rivals during your game.

PRACTICE

In this mode, you can select a course to practice and refine your racing skills.

OPTIONS

In this mode, you can change controller button configurations, sound settings,
and other game options. It also allows you to view race replays that you have
saved.

Game data for Tokyo Xtreme Racer can only be saved to
expansion socket 1 of control port A.

SAVING/LOADING IN QUEST MODE

To save/load data in QUEST mode, Select SYSTEM in the QUEST mode
menu screen. You can save up to 30 cars in QUEST mode.

SAVING/LOADING GAME FILES

You can save time attack records, key configurations, and other data in
game files. You can save/load game files by selecting SAVE/LOAD GAME
FILE under OPTION. Game files are loaded automatically after start up.

SAVING/LOADING REPLAYS

You can save replays in QUEST and QUICK RACE mode. You can only save a
replay if you see "SAVE REPLAY" displayed in the menu that appears after
the RESULTS screen. You can save about 2 minutes of a race. If your race
exceeded the allowable time, "SAVE REPLAY" will not appear, and you will
not be able to save it.

Save replays in the screen that appears after the REPLAY screen. Load replays
by selecting LOAD REPLAY under OPTION in the MODE SELECT screen.

Saving data requires a VMU (sold separately).

Never turn off Sega dreamcast or connect/disconnect VMUs, expansion
units, controllers, or other peripherals while saving or loading a game.

QUEST mode and game file data together require 15 blocks saved as
a single file. Saving a replay requires 76 blocks.

WARNING: Saving replay data onto a memory card will overwrite
any existing replay data, even if there is free space. Be careful
not to overwrite data you want to keep.

SP (Speed Point) BATTLE is an innovative type of racing that uses
points to test your skill against your rivals. During a battle, the
trailing car loses SP. The farther back a car is, the quicker it loses SP.
You win when your rival's SP reaches zero.

To start a battle, first you must approach a rival from behind during a
free run. Once you have identified them, flash your highbeams to
challenge them to a SP BATTLE. Your rival may also pass you during the
battle. The map on the left side of the screen displays your car in
yellow, undefeated rivals in blue, and defeated rivals in green. During
the battle game in QUEST mode, rival cars are displayed in red.

Taking a different route than your rival ends the battle, returning you to
a free run.

If you win a battle in QUEST mode, you collect your rival’s strength, the
player's remaining SP, and CP (Credit Points) for the distance raced during the
battle. Even if you lose a battle, you can still get CP for the distance raced.

In QUEST mode, you race through Tokyo searching for rivals to
challenge to an SP BATTLE. This is Tokyo Xtreme Racer's primary
mode.

FLOW OF QUEST MODE

The rivals you encounter are members of different racing teams. If you
beat all of the members of a particular team, you can challenge their
leader to a battle. And if you beat a team leader by a certain amount
of points, four very challenging rivals will appear. Beating all four will
take you to the end of the game.

GARAGE

This is where you can change your car's name or switch to a different car.
You can also view your car's performance by pressing the L/R triggers.

SHOP

This is where you can buy cars. Select the car's model, color, and name.

BATTLE!

Select race courses and turn shift assist
time you return to the QUEST mode menu

SYSTEM

Save/load QUEST mode data, select controller button
end QUEST mode.

Tuning your car increases its performance. You can also purchase
Aero parts to change your car's appearance and change a variety
of performance settings.

BUY PARTS

This is where you can tune your car (engine, wheels/suspension, drive
system, and chassis), buy parts to change your car's appearance
including wheels and Aero parts, and change your car's color. Tuning is
conducted in order from STAGE 1 to STAGE 2. WARNING: You cannot
return to STAGE 1 after upgrading to STAGE 2.

CHANGING CAR COLOR

You can pay to change the color of your car. You can select any color you
want by adjusting the amount of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) you want.

CHANGE PARTS

This is where you use parts you have purchased such as mufflers, wheels,
and Aero parts to change your car's appearance and performance.

This is where you can change the following settings to match the
way you drive. Use up/down on the direction button to select the
setting you want to change and left/right to change it. Try
changing various settings until you find the best combination for the
way you drive. Note that there are some settings that cannot be
changed until you reach a certain STAGE in tuning.

CHANGEABLE SETTINGS

Steering Response

Increasing this setting raises steering wheel response. Setting it too high
makes the car hard to control. Setting steering too low makes the care
unresponsive.

Brake Response

Increasing this setting allows you to brake even with slight pressure on the
braking button. Lowering it makes the brakes easier to control.

Brake Balance

This setting adjusts the balance between the front and rear brakes,
allowing you to change the ease at which you drift. Set the balance towards
the front if you want to have more traction and toward the rear if you want
to emphasize drift.

Clearance

Raising car height increases the force with which your tires press
against the ground, making it more difficult to slide when cornering.
WARNING: Raising it too high makes the car unstable.

Shocks

This settings adjusts the firmness of the suspension springs. Setting
them firmer sacrifices stability when hitting potholes and makes the
car harder to control, but it will allow for sharper cornering.

Damping Power

This setting adjusts the ability of the suspension springs to absorb
vibration. Setting it too strong makes the car too bouncy, while setting
it too low results in the springs that will not absorb vibration. The basic
rule is to raise damping power if you increase spring rate.

Transmission Ratio

Lowering close ratio transmission improves gear contact, resulting in
better acceleration at the expense of top speed.

Final Gear

Raising this value increases acceleration, while lowering it increases top speed.
